Whereas those who believe and do right actions, such people are
the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
(Qur'an, 2:82)
The forerunners—the first of the emigrants and the supporters—
and those who have followed them in doing good: Allah is pleased
with them and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared
Gardens for them with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
them timelessly, for ever and ever. That is the great victory. (Qur'an,
9:100)
Those who guard against evil will be amid Gardens and Springs:
(Qur'an, 15:45 )
HOW THE BELIEVERS
ARE WELCOMED IN THE GARDEN
Gardens of Eden which they will enter, and all of their parents,
wives and children who were righteous. Angels will enter in to
welcome them from every gate: 'Peace be upon you because of
your steadfastness! How wonderful is the Ultimate Abode!'
(Qur'an,13:23-24)
Those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say, 'Peace be upon
you! Enter the Garden for what you did.' (Qur'an,16:32)
Those who believed and did right actions will be admitted into
Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them
timelessly, for ever by the permission of their Lord. Their greeting
there is 'Peace!' (Qur'an,14:23)
Enter them in peace, in complete security!' (Qur'an,15:46)
And those who have fear of their Lord will be driven to the Garden
in companies and when they arrive there, finding its gates open,its
custodians will say to them, 'Peace be upon you! You have done
well so enter it timelessly, for ever.' (Qur'an, 39:73)
Such people will be repaid for their steadfastness with the Highest
Paradise, where they will meet with welcome and with 'Peace'.
(Qur'an, 25:75)
